I had a busy day and was sitting at my laptop in my office when my thoughts were interrupted by my son, “Mom, what’s for dinner?” I looked at the clock in disbelief; it was 6:00 pm! Where had the day gone? I hadn’t even showered! I looked outside and realized that it was getting dark. I felt bad for not purposely stopping what I was doing to engage with my kids after they came home from school.

Have you ever felt like an entire day slipped away? It’s easy to do this with our faith as well as our time.

If we don’t spend time with God everyday, we can miss out on the wonderful things that He has planned for us. God wants us to spend time with Him in prayer, to be fully awakened with our faith activated. This means looking actively, daily, for practical ways to help others. It may be reaching out to a friend who is having a hard time, or donating some clothes to a local shelter. We need to be ready to actively watch God at work. If we don’t, we may miss out on the amazing ways that God can use us and others to change the world and do good works.

Don’t let this day or any other slip away without embracing what God has planned for you!

“All scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right” 2 Timothy 3:16 (NLT).
